• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: week, when we, as Members of Parliament, go for television shows, we do research. I have watched the media personalities who cover the United States of America Congress and the House of Commons. We expect media personalities who cover Parliament to do proper research. We want the House to be critiqued. We have no problem. Parliament and its committees must be critiqued. Our personalities and activities as Members of Parliament must be critiqued, but it must be done with facts and evidence. Where did we say that this Bill will not be signed? If by chance the 12th Parliament will ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to tell you as the Chair of the Parliamentary Service Communication that the communication team in our Parliament has failed. They were to do a media briefing. We should have done a media briefing and taken the media through this Bill. The media must be given a copy of the Bill with all the rationale. This Bill is being interpreted differently. In fact, they are discussing a Bill which is not before this House. We are the first Parliament that pays taxes through Pay as You Earn (PAYE), income taxes and our allowance are also taxed. ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, I agree with Hon. Junet. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Chairman is trying to amend in sub-clause (2). Oh, he is right. The word, “authorities” is present in sub-clause (2). I am sorry. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I have spoken to Hon. Tonui and I have a document from the legal department. The main objective of the Government Contracts Bill is to provide for the making of contracts on behalf of two levels of Government. First, this Bill does not provide substantial constructional obligations regarding the procurement of goods and services. The Public Procurement and Disposal Act 2015, Section 44 provides for the responsibility of an accounting officer. Section 44 (1) of Public Procurement and Disposal Act says: “An accounting officer of a public entity shall primarily be responsible for ensuring that the ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: With this provision in place, we wish to notify the House – this is a legal opinion - that the amendment by the Hon. Member has efficiently been catered for under Public Procurement and Disposal Act of 2015. I am ready to table it. This is a legal opinion. In essence, the legal department is saying that we cannot over legislate. It is already provided for in the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, Section 44 (1) and (2) and it is also provided for in the same Act in Regulations 50(1) and 54(1). That is why we had issues with ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Let me read Section 10 of the Bill which states: “10. Besides any contract is entered into the contracting authority shall comply with the provisions of the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Act of 2015. The Regulations made thereafter, the Public Private Partnership Act of 2013 and any other applicable law.” Already section 10 is referring us to the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Act and section 44(1) is referring us to section 53 and 54(1) of the same Regulation. I am also a victim. There are many people out there who have pending ... view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, the main objective of the Government Contract Bill which is before this House today is to provide for contracts on behalf of the two levels of Government. It is saying, there will be no contract entered by the national Government without the concurrence of the Attorney- General and same for the county atoner generals. That is what this Bills objective is. This Bill is not providing how goods and services are procured. Those are provided for in the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Act, 2015. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Tonui’s amendment is well placed in the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Act, 2015. It is foreign in this Bill. You know maybe, my own brothers have pending Bills, but I should not use the Floor of this House to fix this. The pending Bills are a huge thing. When the former governors were leaving office, they just dished out money. So, this House will morally go wrong if we are giving a blank cheque and saying we must pay the pending Bills. I rest my case. The rest is for the House. view
• 4 Dec 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Hon. Tonui has not explained the amendment before us. I want to go on record that the Director of Legal Services in the National Assembly cannot write to me on an amendment by a Member where the amendment was crafted by members of the Directorate of Legal Services. That is an issue I will pick with the Clerk and the Director of Legal Services. Her staff have approved for the amendment to be on the Order Paper. In Parliament, we make laws and learn how to make laws. We are not interested in whether you are ... view
